I made a menorah for my stepson and his family to welcome them into their new home. The shape of the menorah was inspired by a vase I was working on (still unfinished) and I used the tar paper technique of hand building ceramic shapes that I described earlier in the year.

Here are some construction pictures. The menorah is hollow.

And here is a picture of the final product after bisque firing and glazing.

Ever wonder what happens if you give a cat a dreidel? If he’s Boris he’ll play for treats and clean you out.
